De La Rose and Carr are back in the lineup. Sitting tonight, well, it's the end of an era... although it is the prudent thing to do, it's still a monumental occurrence that Logan Shaw will not be playing tonight in advance of the trade deadline.

He won two straight games at one point but the starts were two weeks apart (and the only other win he has this year was Thursday). His last set of true back-to-back wins was February 2nd and 4th of 2016.

The point is moot. The future is with Lindgren. Julien should alternate between him and Niemi because not doing so will waste the opportunity to give Lindgren more NHL experience.

Lindgren shouldn't be part of the tank, why ruin confidence in a broken system? You may be 5% of the forum that doesn't want this team to finish horribly in the standings at this point...I am in the 95% that wants just short of a firesale + MB gone + Geoff Molson stepping down. Niemi should start 90% of games til the end of the season.

Most pleased I’ve been with Alzner all season is dropping the gloves with Stamkos

Welll.....he didn't have much of a choice, as Stamkos almost mugged him to make a statement. I don't think Alzner meant to make a knee-on-knee hit but Stamkos acted like a true captain in that situation. We'll never see Max act that way.

Doesn’t change the fact that it’s the most positive thing I’ve seen Alzner do this season, other than skate beyond the opposing team’s goal line this one time. I missed his lone goal this year and all its replays.

I agree, and it's sad that Alzner has been such a disaster for the Habs. It seems the other NHL teams that passed on trying to sign him had a better read of him than the Habs braintrust.

So Stamkos vs Alzner, Hedman vs Gallagher - what's next, Kucherov vs Mete? This game has a bit of an edge to it, something we haven't seen much of lately.

Quite true. What's next? I predict Juulsen will stand up a Lightning player at the Habs blueline to level him, then another Tampa player will take exception to the hit, either at that time or the next shift.
